1.0 SCOPE

This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released files.

1.1 Identification

This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

1.2 System overview

The ``Proc::Command'' module extends the Perl language (the system).

Some Perls under Microsoft windows suffers disabilities over Unix Perls. One particular disability is a backtick without the console. Altough the Microsoft console, may be started without a window (start command with /b option or spawn program call), the Perl system command on windows usually create a window. Creating a window causes immense user interface problem since it will randomly pop-up and take focus over the current window, erasing current entries into that window. Solutions such as ``Proc::SafePipe'' do not run on Perls for Window.

This module provides an answer by using the ``open'' command with a pipe to provide a backtick without a console that will run under Perls on Microsoft Windows.

1.3 Document overview.

3.3 Changes

Changes are as follows:

Proc-Command-0.01

Originated

Proc-Command-0.02

Added a statement to support the VSM platform

$command = ``MCR $command'' if $^O eq 'VMS';

Proc-Command-0.03

Added a 1 at the end of the code section. Unix Perls very strict on this one.

Proc-Command-0.04

Change the test so that test support program modules resides in distribution directory tlib directory instead of the lib directory. Because they are no longer in the lib directory, test support files will not be installed as a pre-condition for the test of this module. The test of this module will precede immediately. The test support files in the tlib directory will vanish after the installtion.

3.4 Adaptation data.

This installation requires that the installation site has the Perl programming language installed. There are no other additional requirements or tailoring needed of configurations files, adaptation data or other software needed for this installation particular to any installation site.

3.7 Possible problems and known errors

There is still much work needed to ensure the quality of this module as follows:

State the functional requirements for each method including not only the GO paths but also what to expect for the NOGO paths
All the tests are GO path tests. Should add NOGO tests.
Add the requirements addressed as # R: comment to the tests
Write a program to build a matrix to trace test step to the requirements and vice versa by parsing the # R: comments. Automatically insert the matrix in the Test::TestUtil POD.

4.0 NOTES

The following are useful acronyms:

.d: extension for a Perl demo script file
.pm: extension for a Perl Library Module
.t: extension for a Perl test script file
